The Working Women of the East End walking tour takes you through the streets of East London, an area shaped by refuge, change, idealism — and by crime and poverty. As you move through this historic neighbourhood, you will encounter layers of local life, alternative culture and dynamic street art that reflect the people who call the East End home.
The tour focuses on the often overlooked contribution of women to the area’s vibrant history. Along the way you will hear the stories and achievements of working women who helped shape the community. It also aims to give a voice back to the women who were killed by Jack the Ripper, placing their lives and experiences within the wider social and historical context of the East End. This walk offers a different perspective on familiar streets, connecting social history, culture and art to the lives of the women who lived and worked here.
